daytrana

In February, difficult child 2 weighed <u>89.5 pounds</u>. Back then he was on Abilify 20mg and Focalin XR 60mg. In mid-July, when he had a physical, they said he weighed <u>96 pounds</u>. At the time, he had been titrating up on Depakote ER for two weeks and was at 750mg, and he had only been on 10mg...

Hi my name is Michelle. I am a stay at home mom to 4 kids. My boys are 2 and 12 and my girls are 5 and 10. My husband is a fireman and we have been married 13 years. My issues are with my oldest (E -- DS1). At 7 years old (2nd grade and right before DD2 was born) he was diagnosed with mild ADHD and we...

Hi, My son had been diagnosed with ADHD, he is 12 years old. He was originally diagnosed at age 6. We originally tried many different medication but he did not tolerate them very well. He has been on Metadate 30mg for the last five years. He has tolerated it well, but I am not really sure...

and wow they left me all the good!!! (insert nekkid chicken dance to ward off board curse). We increased the Daytrana to 15mg yesterday, and all I have seen so far is positive. I was very nervous about this, but I guess psychiatrist is a psychiatrist for some reason, he does know a thing or two. Yesterday was...

I have been thinking about this for some time. Summer vacation is almost here, and I am contemplating removing difficult child from medications to see what happens. He has been on medications of some type for over the last 2-3 years. He has been doing quite well since Christmas. Now, the other side of me wants to...

in peoples' systems? difficult child was doing good, great with daytrana. In the last 2 days things have been awful. Very upset, wound up, tearful about tiny things, and VERY argumentative. I guess he almost got kicked out of the pool today for a disagreement with another child, and then argued with the...

Yet another incident of lying to me by difficult child 1 this morning. He has been lying to me for who knows how long about lunch. I asked this morning if he has lunch money, to which he quickly replied "yes". I asked him to show me, since he has a history of automatically saying yes to anything that's...

Hi all, My son has been rage free/meltdown free for 5 months now. Yeah no violence and more managable. At first we were just so grateful for not being bitten, etc etc. Now we really need to start to once again try to address the adhd symptoms. Prior to mood stabilizers and the proper diagnosis, we...

I think the meeting went well. difficult child 2 was able to articulate what's going on with him -- both the good and bad. We've decided he is one of these rare people who metabolize drugs ultra rapidly. psychiatrist has about 30 to 40 patients on Seroquel XR and no one blows through it like difficult child 2. No one. But...

It happened yesterday but it still feels so fresh. I woke up this morning with a lingering sadness and a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Yesterday was Field Day at Seb's school-- what we used to call Color Wars before it sounded vaguely un-easy child. I, along with many other moms, volunteered...

difficult child has been losing weight since on Daytrana, I have to work as I am only one that can, and husband can't seem to figure out that he should try to encourage difficult child to eat. He just wants him off medications. Then all that will happen is that difficult child will get yelled at all the time as he will be out of control. I...

After the roller coaster of the last 3 weeks, we go see psychiatrist this morning. difficult child is still not on daytrana, and I am not sure if I am willing to put him back on them. He is so hyper and impulsive that something must be done. We went to the beach last week, had a good time. But tell me...

difficult child had a great weekend for the most part. Had a great time fishing with Dadf and spending time with us while big brother is in Colorado visiting friends. She was a pleasure to be with on Saturday and most of Sunday. The claws came back yesterday. As soon as I picked her up from camp, she...

My eight year old son was diagnosed with ADHD in first grade by pediatrician. Last year, after second grade, his therapist suggested a psychological evaluation which said he also had depression and should have follow-up with psychiatrist. Long story short... I went to his therapist today, for...

We started "A" on Metadate CD 10 mg Sunday and the only thing that I have noticed is that we have had times of hysterical outbursts. He had three such outbursts on Sunday--none of which were related to anger or frustration that I could tell. They were all related to more sadness or...

I just read Sharon's LOL, we had one also. Must be alot of difficult child'ness going on. Dylan's weight went from a concerning 108 3 months ago to a whopping 129 tonight. I cannot allow this to continue, no matter how great he is behaviorally. The psychiatrist agrees. Dylan is also still having problems with the...

I've typed the first word for this post several times and erased it. My head is splitting. Sorry if I ramble a bit. My difficult child had been off all medications for a week, after trying Metadate for 4 days and becoming very aggressive. The neuro-doctor was on vacation. When he returned he suggested Tenex. We...

difficult child has been out of control today also. Today is bad, he is bossy and demanding, had a melt down when he did not understand what I was saying about his homework, went to his room punching the hall on the way. He is chewing on his shirt and grabbing the collar and pulling it away from his neck...

And I don't want to be normal! I like how I am! Stop trying to make me like everybody else. That's what difficult child 2 told me today when we were discussing his obsessive behavior in the store today (very persistently insisted I buy him an electric toothbrush, which he already has, interrupting me...

I just wanted to respond to a reply you made in a different post.....just to let you know my difficult child takes Lamictal. The doses you have mentioned are very low & I'm not aware of doses that small. BUT, want to let you know my difficult child responds very well to this medication for her seizures. She is not...
